This is my 4th picture in my 4th folder. This was a hard picture for me to post and I almost didn't. But it reminds me of many lessons that my mom taught me during her life and especially during that last year of her life. I wasn't going to post this picture because it shows how sick my mom was and it was not an easy or happy time. But it was one of the most spiritual times in my life. I truly felt my Saviors love.
It was in Sept. of 2003. My children love their Grandma Carole. Rylie would sit on her bed and my mom would say, "There's my Rylie Buttons, come give grandma a love". Rylie still remembers her calling her Rylie Buttons. One day at the hospital Rylie brought "handprints" (her blanket that she still has) and put it on her Grandma Carole and said, "That will make Grandma feel better". I am sure it did. Rylie and Elle were lucky to have Grandma for a little while. She loved taking them to McDonalds and cooking for them and mostly rocking them on her lap and humming a little tune to them. During the time that my mom was so sick, my little boys were giants. They were so incredible. They showed service to their Grandma like I had never seen before. They did some of those things that you would never expect from a grown man let alone a small boy. But they loved their Grandma and would do and did anything that they could to make her more comfortable. She would tell them to come over and see her before she had to"thump their melons". The boys always got a kick out of Grandma's sense of humor. But who didn't?

This picture make me so thankful that my mom is out of pain and that she is in a better place. It reminds me to be happy for her. I am so grateful for the plan of salvation. I am grateful for the gospel that teaches those thing that we must do to be A FAMILY FOREVER.
